A note From the kokua for Maui designer

This project was both heartfelt and personal, especially for our lead designer, who's called Lāhainā home for the past 19 years. Tragically, she lost her own home in the devastating August fires, and many of our family and friends owned or worked at businesses affected by the fires. We felt honored to be chosen to work on this important initiative, supporting local businesses and events while aiding the community in healing and moving forward together.
